“Anti-gun New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the wrong man to speak
about self-defense in a city that is a virtual victim disarmament zone
because of his policies,” CCRKBA stated.

They were referring to “the mayor explode[ing] in anger
after a reporter asked him what he thought of the officers opening fire
[and] injuring nine bystanders who got caught in the crossfire.

“Let me ask you this Miss, if somebody pointed a gun at you and you
had a gun in your pocket, what would you do? I think that answers the
question,” Bloomberg responded.

“There’s just one big problem with Bloomberg’s remark,” CCRKBA
Chairman Alan Gottlieb observed. “In his city, under his Draconian gun
regulations, it is nearly impossible for a private citizen to have a gun
in his or her pocket for personal protection, and he knows it.”

Goes to show the disconnect between politicians and citizens. in answer to the "if you had a gun in your pocket what would you do" quote, the reporter should have said "it would nice to have that option".

Seriously, most citizens would be dead in that situation and the criminal would get away or be in jail. Bloomberg has taken away the right of honest citizens to defend themselves and others from criminals. As the situation in the article shows, all his laws did not keep a bad guy from getting a gun, it just kept the good guys from being able to protect themselves.

But he doesn't have to worry, he has body guards, a ton of money and power. He has set himself up to basically be above the law.

Everytime we look the other way when someone else loses rights we disagree with, we make it easier to lose the rights we support.
